IceCube-79 str<strong>in</strong>g analysis details<br />

● By compar<strong>in</strong>g signal simulation & data, cuts are<br />
placed that reduces <strong>the</strong> content of atmospheric<br />
muon events<br />
● Early analysis cuts:<br />
dedicated onl<strong>in</strong>e-filter → offl<strong>in</strong>e high-level<br />
reconstructions → first modest cuts<br />
(track quality/direction + conta<strong>in</strong>ment)<br />
● Signal event topology very different <strong>for</strong><br />
low & high WIMP mass<br />
→ f<strong>in</strong>d geometrical cut to split dataset<br />
<strong>in</strong>to 2 non-overlap<strong>in</strong>g datasets<br />
